If you haven't visited Spada Decals' website recently, prepared to be blown away by all of the decal subjects they've produced in the last year or so. What's more, the quality is excellent, the price is very reasonable, and the subjects covered provide a terrific alternative to the 'usual' array of decal offerings.

This set provides the markings for the Sopwith Camels of the Belgian Air Force, with disctinctive markings for the squadron that carried the Holly Leaf emblem. These aircraft wore standard RFC/RAF camouflage colors and the cowling was natural metal with the red stripes applied.

The printing is sharp and nicely registered. The decals are printed on solid decal film, which means you'll have to carefully trim as much clear carrier film from the edges of your decal as practical.

This set is definitely recommended!
